This is a diverse, hands-on role offering the opportunity to operate a wide range of heavy machinery and equipment across several different industries and operations.

A bit about the role

This is not your typical machinery operator position. You will be working across agriculture, transport, waste management and composting, so no two days are necessarily the same.

Part of the role involves working in the waste industry, which can sometimes be dirty and smelly. However, it also provides a great opportunity to work with a broad range of machinery, develop new skills and gain experience across different industries.

We are looking for someone who:

- Has experience operating heavy machinery and trucks.

- Can work independently and as part of a team.
- Is reliable, versatile and willing to get involved wherever needed.
- Holds the appropriate heavy vehicle licences (HC/MC preferred).

Why join Furness Group?

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, likes operating machinery and doesn't want to be stuck doing the same job every day.

There is plenty of opportunity to learn, develop new skills and grow with the business.

If you enjoy machinery, trucks, agriculture and getting your hands dirty, we'd like to hear from you.
